Hi Ben
As a fellow Mc man, I have to suggest the JM Labs. They are easy to drive and have an fast, open and transparent sound that compliments Mc super well. The Electra series is much better than the Cobalt but not as expensive as the Utopias. I have the 926s which work great in my small room but the 936 and 946 are better for larger rooms. There have been some really good deals on them lately due to new replacement models arriving in show rooms now. I am familiar with a good number of speakers, including B&W, and find the JM Lab Electras to be fantastic sleepers for the money that throw an unbelievable soundstage with razor sharp accuracy in all aspects. Anyway, keep us posted on your decision! Arthur
